Forecasts

Verdict

The two interesting contenders are arguably chase debutantes KILLYBEGS JET LADY and Sir Carnegie. The latter has the assistance of Sean Bowen equipped with a tongue tie for the first time but the former is a winning pointer who has been in reasonable order this summer so she gets the vote. Ribeye should run his race again.

  1. KILLYBEGS JET LADY (IRE)
  2. SIR CARNEGIE (IRE)
  3. RIBEYE
